Pieces of Hope
Other Extreme Exercises

Xiang Yu woke up from his sleep. In a room with simple wooden walls and roofs. He held his head still feeling pain, looking sideways, he found drinking water beside a sleeping lamp that was above the drawer.

He drank the water, his eyes drifted out the window.

The sky was bright with the sun shining brightly and many people were laughing down there. Xiang Yu let out a long sigh, he got down from his bed and walked towards the slightly open door.

— She walks down the stairs, it seems like everyone is ready for breakfast.

"You shouldn't force yourself." Luo Xiu exclaimed. "I don't understand why, but after you read that epic you suddenly had a high fever."

"Yes, to the extent that My Princess Ely took care of you all night." Whitey said, she seems to have gotten along with Elysia

Xiang Yu smiled wryly, he sat on an empty bench. All breakfast with quiet and occasional chatter that invites laughter.

***

In the field that was only surrounded by green grass in the back yard of Mu Yu's house, now Elysia's new training will begin today. After all, their journey had to stop temporarily because of him.

According to Xiang Yu stimulating the tense situation was the most suitable for defensive training.

"Remember, your job is to avoid it at all costs."

"Yes!"

The little girl looked excited, she convinced herself of the impending attack.

Xiang Yu dashed towards the little girl, his sword was ready at any moment to be cut.

Clangs!

The horizontal attack was well received, but the little girl was bounced away by Xiang Yu's momentum. He closed his eyes as he opened Xiang Yu already lost.

"First mistake, you should have seen your enemy both ready and unprepared."

The man appeared again in the back, whipping at Elysia's waist. The girl bounced away quickly and her smooth skin rubbed against the ground.

As if not giving Elysia to refocus, Xiang Yu dashed quickly following.

The man was about to punch Elysia in the stomach, but with all Elysia's efforts to change momentum, perhaps her body reacted without allowing her to think. That's good, the longer the dodge pattern the better, the control of his body, and the reading of the attack.

Xiang Yu smiled looking at the little girl who was adjusting her breath, the sweat on her face did not cover the full sharp gaze of her concentration.

"Looks like you're getting used to it, Ely."

"I don't think so, I feel like I'm going to die if I don't dodge."

"Yes, if that's what you think, let's move on."

Xiang Yu's movements were increasing, he attacked aggressively and mercilessly. However, almost all of his movements were fended off as well as evaded, it seemed that the results of the exercises were beginning to show.

Every time Xiang Yu's movements increased, he was now using beautiful Acrobatic moves. He mercilessly attacked the little girl to the point of getting hurt, training like this looks like he wants to kill Elysia.

"Eh, I don't think that your defensive posture is getting solid and your movements are getting agile."

"Yes, this is also the encouragement of Borther Xiang."

"Ma, you did very well."

"Sure, let's move on."

"Well if you feel motivated."

Meanwhile, Luo Xiu, Whitey, Rin, and Alice who saw the sharp increase of Elysia could only sigh. They realized that training with life-threatening methods of stimulation was really beneficial.

According to them, the little girl's defensive posture was really good from time to time. They saw a simple to impossible way of dodging even considering the speed of Xiang Yu's slash.

"Yes. This method is ten times more effective than the academy's rigid teaching method." Alice nodded in agreement. He still remembered the problem in the manticore nest that triggered the absurd.

"But, for that to happen, we have to unleash all of our strength and potential to thrive." Rin took a long breath

"It's worth Rin, you know all warriors and witches have to increase their power in the future. This world, powers respected, you know yourself." Whitey looked seriously at Elysia's training

Back to Xiang Yu.

He didn't sweat at all, didn't even look tired. While the little girl had run out of breath, she gasped as if her lungs were about to explode.

"Do you want to stop?" xiang Yu asked, he pursed his head while grinning.

Elysia only shook her head, even though she had reached her limit she still wanted to move. The muscles in his body feel pain.

All of those previously unused muscles are now active.

"Because you want to continue I'll give you advice this time. To dodge you yourself there is no problem, but you are too rigid in avoiding. To overcome that, you must either increase your reaction or guess the pattern of the impending attack" Xiang Yu said as he sheathed back his sword. "You should know, the speed of reaction is enough to affect a one-on-one battle like this. Since the impending attack path you can predict precisely, in this case your reaction speed should be over 0.5 seconds to dodge with certainty the opponent's attack."

"Then guessing what pattern of attacks was Brother Xiang?"

"You need to stimulate the shadow against your enemy in mind. In your enemy's first attack, how to evade the opponent's attack, and counterattack quickly and effectively. You have to simulate the pattern of attacks that can be great to happen whether it's ten or even hundreds of times."

Although Xiang Yu's explanation was a little complicated, Elysia tried to digest and nodded slowly.

"Alright, I will give you an example" Xiang Yu said with a sigh. "Strike me to your best."

As Elysia told her to gallop towards the Man, preparing to draw her sword vertically as she approached the Man.

Slings

The tip of the sword The man almost pierced his neck, with such a close distance it was possible that his neck would be pierced during a real fight.

"This is called guessing the attack pattern, I can tell your attack from simulating a fight with you, both I attack first and you attack first." Xiang Yu sheathed back his sword.

"I see, it's like we're imagining a battle is about to happen."

"Yes like that. Let's go ahead, attack me again."

With Xiang Yu's command the little girl attacked again with her ice sword, her attack was swift and powerful. However, his attacks had nothing to hit the Man's body at all, and again, his attacks only dodged sideways and backwards once in a while he deflected Elysia's attacks. His movements were simple, there was no futile movement in dodging as if he knew the direction the attack was coming from.

"Stop." Said. "So the reaction speed. For example, let's stimulate this one first."

Elysia stopped her attack, took a few steps back, she noticed all the movements of the man's body.

"As a reminder, if I just guess randomly."

A powerful burst of killing intent made Elysia retreat a few steps. His eyes trembled in fear looking at the wide smile as if tearing at the man's face. His heart seemed to have forgotten to beat, he was not joking this time, if only the practice had used this powerful killing intent might the little girl have died in the first attack.

Behind Xiang Yu's crazy smile, he readied his sword.
